Current Conditions (Spray River) / Conditions actuelles (Spray River)
The act of contemplation in natural spaces and the importance of cultivating a physical relationship with the elements in them are the foundations for the works included in Current Conditions. The pieces use walking, listening and contemplation in natural environments - out of these acts of stillness emerge pieces that allow landscapes or natural phenomena to speak their own language.
Spray River documents a walk/performance in a wilderness area. Each image was created after a few moments of contemplation at different locations throughout a hike. At this point, a handful of snow was placed on a sheet of note paper, then melted with my breath. The rephotographed pages result in a poetic field guide where the place itself becomes physically part of the creative process.
